Draw improvement line on a DPU chart

Select this setting to display defect levels of your processes over time against an improvement (goal) line you specify with a starting date and starting value. A 10x improvement line represents a goal of reducing defects by 10 times over two years and 100 times over four years. The GainSeeker default improvement curve is 10x, a value that can be changed in the GainSeeker Administration module.

From the right-click menu on a DPU chart, you can also apply an improvement start date and start value that you have defined for any process to the current retrieval,. See Select DPU start date and value

Select this checkbox to display the Y-axis data as a percent of change on a DPU chart instead of absolute arithmetic values.

If logarithmic scale is used with a bar-type DPU chart, the bars will only display as two-dimensional:
